- 1. Drinks were observed stored directly on the floor. All food and beverages must be stored off the floor at all times to prevent contamination and allow for proper cleaning of the floors.2. Ice cream cones were not covered. To prevent contamination from dust, insects, or environmental contamination, cones must be stored in a covered container. It is strongly recommended that a dedicated cone case be purchased.

- Fly control is required. The presence of flies in food service areas poses a contamination risk. A UV fly control unit is strongly recommended to help manage fly activity, especially in outdoor or open-air settings.
- 18. Are general nuisance conditions, other than those noted in other violations, being prevented at this food facility (Non-Critical)?
- The facility appears to be operating beyond its intended capacity. The current menu is extensive for a small beach concession with limited kitchen equipment and space. This can compromise food safety and organization. Consider simplifying the menu to better match the kitchen’s capacity and layout.
- 21. Is the facility properly constructed and maintained in a state of good repair to allow for the safe and sanitary handling of food?
- Cardboard is not a suitable floor surface in food handling areas, as it is absorbent, not cleanable, and may harbor bacteria or attract pests. This poses a risk to food safety, especially in outdoor environments where moisture and debris are more likely.In addition, the use of cardboard on the floor creates poor optics, potentially giving customers the impression that the facility is unclean or temporary in nature.In addition, it presents an occupational hazard; both the food handler and the inspector tripped during the inspection, including one incident near the deep fryer. This increases the risk of injury or burns and must be addressed.Please remove the cardboard and ensure the floor surface is kept clean, dry, and in good repair. If the floor requires additional cleaning, please prioritize that directly rather than covering it with non-approved materials.
